I feel that hard; Annie by numbers is something I'd stay clear of. However, the more folk I listen to the more I'm convinced that the bones of these songs aren't that valuable in and of themselves and that it's chiefly all in the artist's execution - Kishi Bashi nails it

Exactly, thank you.



But my biggest problem with this is the tragic love stories. I'm an emotional fag, and I can't sing along to e.g. Angeline without getting sad. So that's annoying.

Egarran hun sometimes you've gotta let yourself be hurt. Is this why you stopped answering my Skype calls? :'[

Yes, Johnny. I have to let myself be me. Love hurts too much these days.

Yeah that was weird. Edit.

Song melts me.

Album Rating: 4.5

haven't gotten around to listening to the whole album yet, but the closer is so good

Album Rating: 5.0

Besides Marigolds and Summer of 42, that's my favorite. It's such a misfit stylistically but I love it. Reminds me of old school Avett Brothers.

Album Rating: 3.0

Definitely better than the last one, but just shy of a 3.5 for me

I think the opener or Summer of 42 is my favorite.

Analysis. Marigolds and A Song For You are 4.5 songs, Penny and Summer are 4 and then it's more or less all 3s.

Album Rating: 3.0

Marigolds is my least favorite on here, kind of a bore to me. Song for You is pretty good though.

Album Rating: 4.0

F. Delano is lowkey one of the best, tho

Annie is also amazing, i'd totally listen a full album on this style by K.

Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound Off

Yeah that is definitely a matter of taste.

I pray he abandons all these bluegrass/Americana/country tropes.



All his albums have obvious references to older genres, so for the next one I put my money on doom metal.

Album Rating: 4.0

i think that was the main appeal of this album to me.



i don't see how you can hate country music and give this more than a 3, but woah, people are crazy uknow.

Even if that was mostly sarcasm I would like you to say more about it.

Album Rating: 4.0

well i think this one, even if it's still in Kishi's particular brand of chamber-pop, has more of a grounded sound. Lots of guitars, banjos and mandolines, less sequencing and synths than his other records.
